Work of the Convention. The State Democratic Convention has met and the report of the meeting is be-1 fore us. Let us look at the results as briefly as possible: Two campaign meetings in each county were arranged for, to be held not less than two weeks apart, "one of which meetings shall be addressed only by candidates for State offices, and the other only by candidates for United States v , Senators, Congressmen, and Circuit Solicitors." We have no objection to - this plan, and possibly it was the best method of relieving the present condition. The platform adopted is the same as 1 that of 1900, only laying special stress on imperialism and trusts. The policy of the National Administration in regard to the Phillippines and what was termed "imperialism" were condemned. The ship subsidy bill and the Crumpacker resolution were also denounced. We have no doubt but that many members of the body could not explain some of these questions. The resolution as to Cuba and on the ~ death of Wade Hampton, as well as on the illness of Chief Justice Mclver, were timely aud the convention did well to adopt them. luy : . Sensible action prevailed on the matter of an additional pledge for voters in the - primary, but really we did not expect to ' .1 r see drastic action tanen, ior 11 tne ioonsu (. pledge advocated by some had been required of voters, many of the best white men in South Carolina would have been disfranchised. However, the convention made one serious mistake. Resolutions as to child labor in the cotton mills were offered by H Geo. W. Croft, of Aiken, and J. W. Thur| mond, of Edgefield, both candidates for iL. congress. These were in effect that no child under twelve years of age should be employed in a cotton mill. However, Col. Croft's resolution was adopted, although there was some opposition. Thus has the Democratic party of the State laid down the principle that it is /" opposed to any child under twelve years ; of age attempting to make a living in an honest, legitimate way. Why confine the :i.>* matter to the cotton mills alone? Why not also say that any child under twelve years of age should not work on a farm, r in a store, or an office, or be employed in doing chores around home or domestic work.in the house? There is just as much sense and reason in one as the other. We know of cases where bright children |r Y.. aid materially by honest labor in the support of aged or invalid relatives. Shall these people become public charges on the community simply to gratify the political ambitiQns of a few politicians ? It has come to a pretty pass in South L. Carolina when any man or set of men can mm say to any class of its citizens: "You - shall not engage in honest labor for your _ support, even if you become paupers or r. thieves because of this." But we expect to have more to say on this question at jgi. some later day. In the first place, this was none of the convention's business; this matter is to be decided by the legist ' " proper time we expect to again take it up. We Relieve in the protection of the weak against the strong; of the poor against the rich; but we can not but denounce tbis action 01 tne convention. But the worst is to come yet. The following resolution was offered by Cole L. Blease, of Newberry, who will be a candidate again this summer. A number of the delegates were opposed to it, but it was finally adopted : Whereas, this convention has heard with profound regret that the operatives of the cotton mills of Horse Creek Valley, " in Aiken county, are in distress, caused by the action of the cotton mill presidents in ordering a lockout in said mills, because of a strike in a cotton mill in the State of Georgia. Be it Resolved, That this convention hereby extends to the operatives of Horse Creek V Valley, on account of their loyalty to the * Democratic party in the past, every assistance possible to relieve them from the ?fr. ' screws of oppression. Resolved, second, That we condemn the acts of the said mill presidents, as heart?y. less, unwarranted, and unjust, causing untold suffering and distress among the people who constitute one-third of the entire voting population of Aiken county. Resolved, third, That we call upon all law-loving citizens who feel that the poor w&T laboring white men of our State are unW justly prohibited from earning an honest livelihood, to extend to the people of Horse Creek Yallev moral and financial Ep* aid. Resolved, fourth, That we demand of . our lawmakers the enactment of such laws as will relieve and forever protect ' J the laboring people of the great State of South Carolina, who are the bone and sinew of our land, from such unlawful treatment in the future, and such other laws we demand as will prevent the crippling of values of real estate and other property by combination of capital. Thf> adnnt.inn of f his rP'Sftlntiiin 'g . ,v of the greatest acts of demagogism to catch votes that we have ever known of in this State, and we must confess to ranch surprise at its passage. The resort"" lutions speak of financial aid for the operatives, and Mr. Henderson, of Aiken, -offered to receive contributions, but we If , . find no record of even one cent being contributed by members of the convenex * - _ tion. Their sympathy for the operatives was not of the substantial kind. It consisted merely of high-sounding resolutions, only intended to catch the votes of the mill people. A plague upon such patriotism and sympathy! Those men would have commended themselves to us l.? J .... ,1,,.;,. uaii iucy guilt uu\mi in iiivrii auu raised a good amount for the relief of the operatives. Notice there was not one word of condemnation for the strikers. But, as a matter of right, without intending to go deeply into the merits of the question, if labor has a right to organize for its protection, in the name of common sense and justice, hasn't capital the same right? Don't we all fight a man with his own weapons? With all due respect to the convention ?and there were many good men in the body?it has set a precedent or adopted a policy which will one day be of great harm to the State. The results of this drastic action will be far-reaching am soouer or later the time will come whei it will be deeply regretted. The seed ha: been sown and the harvest will be reaped Senator Tillman's influence was plain ly seen in everything done, and he coin pletely dominated the convention. The proceedings of the recent Stat convention will be better understooi when it is known that a majority of it members were either office holders o candidates.) The Columbia State says the conven tion adopted its views all along the line As it is very clear that the conventioi acted as Senator Tillman directed, i might be interesting to know whethe Tillman has swallowed The State or ha The State swallowed Tillman. The people will never get relief froi trusts and other forms of oppression a long as politicians make use of tires issues as a means of getting office. Ever fellow who runs for office has a grca deal to say about trusts, but what pract cal benefit have the people derived yet Conditions are worse in this respect tr day than at any time in the history of th country. The labor question is a perplexin problem, but it should not be brought ir to politics. Conditions will never b bettered by making the matter a politic? one, and when this is done its prope solution is a long ways off. Its setth ment will require patriotism and a prope regard for the rights of all men. Thi quality demagogues and politicians do nc possess. All they want is the support c those who cast the most votes. Charleston, Tuesday, July lo. Walterboro, Wednesday, July 16. Beaufort, Friday, July IS. Hampton, Saturday, July 19.

Here is the copy of the lette: e which is signed by Bartow Warren.

The State Democratic Convention me in Columbia Wednesday of last weet The session was harmonious throughoul and some very harsh and foolish resole tions were adopted. Demagogism pre vailed very largely. The following is a very good synopsi of the work of the convention: Everything passed of smoothly am quietly, much wire-pulling was done b candidates in and around the conventioi in a quiet way, and those issues suppose to be most productive of discussion creat ed none whatever. Senator Tillman in troduced most appropriate resolutions a to the memory of the late Gen. Wad Hampton, and suitable resolutions as t the illness of Chief Justice Mclver wer presented and adopted.. Absolutely the only subjects brough up in the convention, productive of dis cussion, were matters relating to th troubles of labor and capital, and th convention expressed itself in no mil way both in regard to the lockout of th operatives of the cotton mills of th Horse Creek district, and as to chil labor in cotton mills. There were de bates over both these matters, but thos wishing to condemn the mill manage ments for the lockout and those tryim to abolish child labor won by decisiv votes. Senator Tillman presented the report as to the pledge matter and as to thi arrangement of the campaign meetings Both reports went through without ; word of debate, and then came the fina adjournment with the suddenness of : thunderclap from a clear sky. The only change in the pledge is tha candidates for the United States senat and the United States house of represents tives will have to pledge themselves t support the party platform. The two-ring campaign circus plai was adopted, the executive committe being instructed to arrange for a doubl rs series of campaign meetings in eacl county. fj The convention unanimously am lj without debate adopted a simple reso lution condemning Senator McLaurin' j. course. No one seemed to take any in it terest whatever in this matter. ,e After the convention had adjournei Senator Tillman was called for and h ^ responded with a vigorous speech, ii re which he displayed much of his old tim ^ fire and energy, dealiug with matter Q of national party policy, and with th course of events in congress. He wa most vigorously applauded. Col. Wilie Jones was re-elected Stat chairman, and J. T. Parks, of Orangeburg secretary of the State executive commit .n tee Col. Jones also oresided over th is convention, with T. 0. Hamer,of Mar] 0, boro, secretary. Hon. C. W. Garris was made a membe p of the committee on platform and resolu tions, while Hon. S. G.

D.' to his name. One of the brethren learned that a certain institution in the north would confer such a degree for a price, and a letter to this institution s brought forth the information that $50 r would secure the desired honor. r "Members of the congregation went to e work to raise this $50, but their utmost 1 efforts failed to secure more than $25.

It flew 0 from under the spoon like quicksilver, and another exciting chase ensued before Q he finally got it on Sterling's plate. e "In the covered dishes were boiled turnips, onions, and potatoes. "The conversation during the meal was , forced, except by mother. It was hard to be gay on turnips, but mother bubbled over with good humor, and Whipple's s silent prayer was that the meat-ball would l~ choke her to death. , "Every time Sterling thought- of the 'comforts of home' he had a tit of coughe ing that made his chair sway to and fro 11 till the chills crept up and down his spine. ?

Trivial Tiiinsrs That Have Strewu the Seu. of Matrimony With the Wrecks of Married Lives Before the Vo'Mse Was Fairly Be Run. "The culy reliable thins in marriage is its uncertainty," Douglas Jerrold once remarked, in a cynical moment, and like many sayings to which one may object, this aphorism contains at lea st, an elementary truth. It is a curious fac; that while some matrimonial barks survive fifty or more years of voyaging and come safely into harbor at last others are wrecked before they leave the still waters of the honeymoon. This was the fate of a coupie Known to the writer who were married a few years ago under the brightest of auspices and for whom their friends predicted nothing but happiness. The very first day of the honeymoon their wedded lives came to an abrupt and tragic termination from the simplest of causes. The bride had brought with her on the honeymoon a parasol of a vivid, aggressive red color, to which her husband objected He begged her not to use it, but she persisted. The dispute grew warmer and warmer, heated words were exchanged, until at last in an impulse of anger the bridegroom snatched the sunshade out of his wife's hands and threw it into the sea. Thus ended their life together, for the indignant young wife took the next train to her mother's home, and from that day to this the foolish people have never met In another case, known professionally to the writer, a dispute as to the pronunciation of a word completely wrecked the married life of a young couple and brought their little tragedy into the light of the law courts. It came out in evidence that during the honeymoon the bridegroom had ventured to correct the bride, who had mispronounced a word at the breakfast table. She resented the correction, maintaining that she was right and her lord and master wrong. The argument thus begun ended in a bitter quarrel, during which each disputant no doubt said things which had much better have been left unsaid, with the result that the silly couple separated, each refusing to yield to the other. Efforts were made by their friends and relatives to heal the breach, but to no purpose, and the little tragedy; ended in a judicial separation. It seems almost incredible that people should allow their lives to be wrecked by such trivial causes, but in both these cases actual fact proves stranger even than fiction. More ludicrous, if not more trivial, was the cause that separated a couple who were united less than a year ago. In a suit by a husband for the restitution of conjugal 'rights the wife declared that it was impossible to live with the plaintiff "because he snored so dreadfully." "But, surely," the judge remarked, "this is not a sufficient reason for staying away from your husband?" "You would think it was, my lord," the lady replied, "if you lived with him. I couldn't get a wink of sleep in any part of the house, and even the neighbors complained of his snoring. It will kill me if I have to go back." Unreasonable suspicions have con 4.^ tributed as raucn as any cause iu iuc undoing of husbands and wives. In one domestic tragedy which was unfolded in the law courts a few years ago a newly married wife had received a letter addressed in a masculine hand. The husband, who was of a jealous temperament, demanded to see the letter, which the wife refused to show him. Iligh words ensued, and in a momerit of uncontrollable passion the husband struck his wife, with the result that she went home to her parents and refused to live with him again. The most tragic and dramatic part of the story was the lady's statement in court that the letter which had caused all the trouble had been written by her brother. A clergyman told the writer that he once married a rustic couple whose matrimonial life terminated at the church door at the conclusion of the wedding ceremony. It appears that the bridegroom had discovered that his bride had sold her mangle, which had been one of the chief inducements to marry her, and oho ho.-i mmto nn prmallv disaDbointing QUV uuw 2 v . _ discovery that her swaiu had sold a handsome clock on which she had set her heart. Thus were two lives wrecked by a mangle and a clock, however strange and foolish it may seem. In another case a young widow who had married an elderly bachelor who was reputed to be wealthy found after her marriage that her false lover bad parted with every penny of his fortune in purchasing an annuity for his own life and was so disgusted with his meanness that she left him to the undisturbed enjoyment of his annuity. One recreant husband gave as a reason for declining to live with his wife the discovery that the hair which bad constituted her chief charm in his eyes was faiise and that he could no longer either love or respect a wife who had so deceived him.?London Tit-Bits.
